The “Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan” has taken over the country and we have seen a considerable difference as compared to previous conditions. As part of this campaign, the Petroleum Ministry came up with a concept where it would be possible to track the cleanliness of toilets at petrol pumps through a mobile app. Their concept was converted into a fully functional app by Advantal Technologies and the app was launched on 10th April, 2017 at an event in Champaran which marked the 100th anniversary of the Champaran Satyagrah.

Cleanliness of Toilets at Petrol Pumps

Petrol Pumps not only provide fuel for the vehicles, but also provide basic facilities such as drinking water and toilets. These facilities are accessible to the public and it is important that these facilities have appropriate hygiene standards and cleanliness. If left unattended, these facilities can become breeding grounds for germs and disease causing bacteria.

The swachhta@petrolpump app aims at enabling people to report dirty toilets instantly and track the status of their complaints. This will not only make the process transparent, but also effective in terms of ensuring adequate levels of cleanliness in the toilets at the petrol pumps across India. The initiative has seen participation from Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum and Indian Oil Corporation wherein the toilets available at their outlets can be reported via the app if found dirty.

Swachhta@PetrolPump – All You Need To Know About The App

The swachhta@petrolpump mobile app provides customers with a tracking tool which aims to track the cleanliness of toilets at retail outlets (Petrol Pumps). In order to ensure transparency and fairness in the process, complaints will have to be accompanied with a picture of the toilet to show the extent to which it is dirty. Moreover, it is possible to track the status of the complaint.

The best thing about this app is that it is available in 11 languages – English, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu. Now language should not be a barrier for using the app and a wider area can be covered in terms of ensuring cleanliness of toilets. Almost everyone has a smartphone these days, even if it is a basic one. With an app that is compatible with 11 languages, everyone will be able to help make toilets at petrol pumps clean.
